SHAWMKMAI Illinois Bell probably will lifik up with four Midwest counterparts, according to Stan Jozwiak, manager of the Woodstock telephone office. v Jozwiak said the 3.6 million customers served by Illinois Bell can expect no service changes or rate increases because of the plan. However, a decision by the Illinois Commerce Commission on an unrelated 13.7 percent rate increase is scheduled in June, A task force comprised of American Telephone & Telegraph's operating companies, in conjuction with AT&T, on Friday un veiled a stock-ownership plan in response to a Jan. 8 consent agreement between AT&T and the Justice department. The settlement calls for the divestiture of the company's 22 Bell System operating sub sidiaries. AT&T is restructuring the operations branch into seven regions, including one linking Illinois Bell with Bell companies in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, Jozwiak said. He cautioned that it is still a "planning model" and that "nothing is written in stone vet." Each Company will remain as a separate entity and serve the same territories Jozwiak said. There will be no corporate links between the seven regions. The aim of restructuring is to balance the assets between the operating companies* and p r o v i d e " f i n a n c i a l strength^' he said. .... Jozwiak said telephone facilities and private ter minals might be used some day fdr the medical monitoring of patients in the home, banking, shopping and information gathering from a vast network of other computers across the nation.

While assumptions of e x i s t i n g m o r t g a g e s generally offer below- market rate financing, they are not always available. Fortunately, the blended yield approach is another technique used to take ad vantage of an existing low- interest mortgage for your buyer. With a blended yield, the home buyer does not assume the existing mortgage. However, the lender extends credit in the amount of the existing loan at that interest rate. Additional funds are financed at the prevailing rate. The interest rate on the entire new# loan is the weighted average of "blend" of the two rates. In another form of the "blend", the purchaser gets financing at a rate above that of the exising mortgage but significantly below the so-called "market rate". In yet another form, the lender will permit the purchaser to assume the existing mor tgage, but at a rate which is some blend of the existing rate and the current market rate. The lender then might provide additional funds at the current market rate as well. Alternatively, the lender simply may lend the pur chaser the funds he requires to purchase the home at some "compromise" rate, for example, at a rate halfway between the rate on the existing mortgage and the market rate. The existing mortgage, then, is cancelled. The various blended approaches are worth seeking for your buyer, because they can g r e a t l y r e d u c e f i n a n c i n g costs. This is the way some blended loans work. Suppose you have a buyer for your $75,000 home with 20 per cent down and needing a mortgage of $60,000. Your mortgage has a balance of $20,000 at a 9 percent interest rate. Under the blended approach, the interest rate that the buyer would pay on the $60,000 loan would be calculated by combining the 9 percent rate on the $20,000 and the prevailing market rate on the remaining $40,000. If the prevailing rate is 17 percent, the rate on the entire new loan would be 14.3 percent. The buyer's income required to qualify for the loan at that rate is $5,000 to $6,000 less than if the entire for their operation RON WAIT 64th DIST. 4803 W.

II. $60,000 were lent at 17 per cent. Sellers should contact their lenders to see if a blended loan is possible. You may be surprised at how many lenders are receptive to this arrangement. In fact, the Federal National Mortgage association (Fannie Mae) has instituted a resale-refinance program where buyers of homes with Fannie Mae conventional loans can choose from two below-market financing options. Many conventional mortgages have been sold to Fannie Mae by the originating lenders. Often a home sale may combine the blended mor tgage with other creative financing methods to lower interest rates even further to allow more buyers to qualify for the home. ».
